WPS Office
Can WPS Office open and edit .docx files without messing up the formatting?
Yes, WPS Office handles .docx files well. In testing, it opened a friend's document without corrupting fonts or layout, which is a common concern for mobile Office alternatives.
Does the free version of WPS Office allow PDF to Word conversion?
Yes, the free version includes a PDF converter, but it's limited to a few conversions before prompting you to subscribe. It worked for turning a scanned recipe into a Word document, though the formatting was slightly off.
Why does WPS Office show ads and premium upgrade prompts so often?
The free version displays ads at the bottom of the screen and occasionally nags you about premium features, especially when saving. This is how the app stays free, and most basic tasks remain usable despite the interruptions.
How do I avoid hitting the PDF conversion limit in the free version of WPS Office?
You can't bypass the limit without subscribing, but you can conserve your free conversions by only using them for essential documents. For frequent PDF work, consider the Premium plan at around $30 per year.
How does WPS Office compare to Microsoft Office for mobile use?
WPS Office is a solid free alternative for basic tasks like editing documents and spreadsheets on mobile, and it supports cloud services like Google Drive. However, it has a busier interface and more ads than Microsoft Office, and advanced features like unlimited PDF conversion require a paid subscription.
